The National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ajibola Basiru, has dismissed claims that the ruling party is steering Nigeria towards a one-party system.
Basiru was responding to concerns expressed by Nigerians about likelihood of APC and current administration turning the country into a one-party state.
“How can we turn Nigeria into a one-party state?” he quizzed. “The country is not our making. The policies of the country are not our making.
“I think the problem with Nigeria is that we don’t seem to have people who are very serious in opposition, who take their job seriously.
“You cannot expect the ruling party to do the work of the opposition,” he argued.
Challenging the media, Basiru urged journalists to assess the inactivity of opposition parties, contrasting it with the APC’s ongoing efforts to build a robust, grassroots structure across the country.
